Is there a growing need for strategic management among multinational corporations? If so, why?

What will be an ideal response?


One of the primary reasons that MNCs such as Citibank need strategic management is to keep track of their increasingly diversified operations in a continuously changing international environment. This need is particularly obvious when one considers the amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) that has occurred in recent years. Statistics reveal that FDI has grown three times faster than trade and four times faster than world gross domestic product (GDP). These developments are resulting in a need to coordinate and integrate diverse operations with a unified and agreed-on focus.
